Here's How F-15s Practice Intercepting Errant Civilian Planes for the Super Bowl

So, someone gets to the 10 mile point, what happens?

Apache. problem solved.

Another lovely trip to the theatre...

That was convincing video. "Hey kids look at the fighter jet". Can a Cessna 172 outrun a F 15? Or just pull the power off and watch the F 15s leave the scene. Yes the A 10 is the correct answer.

Scramble the choppers!

Send an F-35....apparently it isn't good enough for anything else :-)

What a waste of time and money. Seems to be mainly there to prevent banner towing that might bother the spectators. If some nefarious entity wished to do nefarious things, the fighters would have less than 2 minute from the time the lawfully operated buiz-jet makes a 90 deg turn (5 miles out) to passing over (or into) the stadium. What is it they are going to do anyway? Shoot down a loaded jet over one of the most populated areas on the West coast? Just what the neighborhood needs; 30 mm depleted uranium slugs coming through the roof, followed by a block-long splash of burning jet fuel.

his policy is just another impediment to free travel about the United States. Invisible land mines in the air to snag the unwary.

What happens when you get intercepted? You get to pay the bill for your mistake? That would make for a bad day, the 20k bill.

I was thinking that Navy or Marine Hornets or Super Hornets would do a better job since their low-speed high AoA performance is better, but A-10s would be perfect and use less gas too. Go Panthers!

The GA pilot might think that its ok, once the F-22 mushes away. They need a Harrier or F-35 to hoover right by the errant aircraft.
